10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Shieldhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Shieldhill?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shieldhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Shieldhill

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Shieldhill

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
